A dermatologist is a physician specialized in diagnosing and treating conditions of the skin, hair, and nails.
They handle common conditions (acne, dermatitis) as well as mole checks and early skin cancer detection.
The dermatologist examines your skin, and in some cases uses a dermatoscope — a tool that magnifies a lesion — to evaluate it more closely.
If they find something that needs further study, they may take a biopsy (a small skin sample) for analysis.
With a diagnosis in hand, they'll explain treatment, which may include creams, oral medication, in-office procedures, or, if needed, minor surgery.
